US Election: Trumps Officials Back Out Of Support

Some senior officials in President Trump’s administration and his campaign are “beginning to quietly back away from Trump, in acts of self-preservation,” says Jim Costa of CNN.

This was said to have begun as his once-promising election returns continue to dwindle.

One key adviser to the president on a request anonymous told Acosta, “It’s over,” adding that there are concerns about how he will conduct himself moving forward.

While making his report, Acosta said, “Some in the campaign, the adviser said, questioned the Trump team’s decision to dispatch the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s sons to make unfounded allegations of voter fraud, arguing that likely diminished the president’s claims of wrongdoing. The adviser said Trump is well within his rights to contest the election results but is going about it in exactly the wrong way.”

Another source told Acosta that the president is losing support for election fraud claims.

“He is mostly alone here,” the source said.
